Schneier on Security: The Doghouse: Lock My PC

Let’s get this clear, Backdoors in security applications are bad. Really bad… So bad, I won’t even discuss it…

So, when Schneier on Security, mentions that Lock My PC, has a “Master Password”. I took a look, and you know what I found…

We’re safe, it’s a “Engineering password”. Sinceit’s not called a backdoor we’re safe. After all, only “Engineering” folks will have it… Those “BlackHat” “Hacker” folks won’t have it, after all, they are not Engineers…

Here’s a hint, stay away from Lock My PC. I think I will write down the following numbers… Not that I have any idea, why, I would:

19740619

Anyone have a copy of Lock My PC, that they could randomly type those numbers into?
